Nollster: What exactly happened in game two for you? Did you leave more splits, or were you missing makable spares? Did your strike line leave you and you didn't make the correct adjustments, or make a ball change when necessary? I would try to analyize what I did incorrectly so that I can anticipate what to do the next time this situation occurs.

I think you'll be back over 600 in no time....

It was a combination of all of them.  My timing was a little off and I missed my mark in the first couple frames -- couple that with poor spare shooting on my pocket misses.  Once I got my timing back, the line had dried up a little and I started getting a little nosey -- left a Greek church which is a little demoralizing.  I'm not real comfortable moving left yet, so I struggled for another couple frames before switching from my X-Factor to my Sonic X and playing up the outside.  Couldn't find the line there either -- most guys were playing the outside and I just wasn't thinking!!  Finally realized (on my last ball no less...) I needed to go about 27 to 17 to keep it in the pocket and I got my first and last strike for the game!!  After that disaster, I tried working on moving more inside with the X-Factor -- it worked for a few frames, but I started getting a little jumpy at the line, so I went back to the Sonic X.  It's much nicer on Sundays where I'm the only one playing inside -- I can play that line all day!!

I feel your pain. Last night I go 209, 151, 256. Now figure that out! I had two splits and missed three one pin spares in the 151 game. How stupid can one get?

162-225-214.
First game and a half I was in one place, where I left 3 pocket 7-10s in 15 frames - finally this loud pop sounded, I moved to the part of the lane I should have been playing - 5 bagger to close the game. Shot ok the last game.
GRRRR!!!
STOOOOOPID!
